About Me

I write music and play guitar in an artsy psychedelic rock band called Sky Picnic . I have been told many times that I'm eccentric and "odd". I am extremely organized and very nit-picky. The smell of freshly printed magazines/ books is amazing. I am what you would consider a "band geek" and know way to many musical factoids. Aliens are real, the moon landing was faked, and Kennedy was killed by our government. I really want a pet monkey. I love cereal and could eat it for every meal.

it was 40 years ago today....

Today is the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper, quite possibly the greatest record ever released. So go home today, listen to it, and hopefully, you enjoy the show.
